On Tuesday the iPod maker began distributing invitations to analysts and members of the media for a special event scheduled for 10:00 a.m. October 12 at the California Theater in San Jose.
The invitations simply read: "One more thing..."
In recent years, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs has used the phrase "One more thing..." to indicate a surprise product announcement towards the end of his keynote presentations.
In the invitations themselves, Apple provided no hints as to what announcements it plans to make. However, recent information suggests that Apple may be preparing to introduce a version of its iPod with video capabilities.
The special event will be the second held by Apple in less than five weeks. On September 7th the iPod maker dazzled the media with the introduction of its ultra-thin iPod nano.

Personally, im hoping for offical announcements on the Mac mini, some PowerBook updates.. and DUAL-CORE PowerMac's....
If it's another iPod, I'm going to lose my mind! Give me a dual-core PowerMac baybee. The bombardment of iPods doesn't get me all hot+bothered b/c they all do the exact same thing. A dual-core PowerMac is truly ground-breaking...
But, if I was a betting man, it will be another iPod with an 80GB perpendicular HD.
I think the video iPod is very likely due to the nature of the invite. Red curtains usually means movie theatre to me...but hey, who knows!
Curtains usually mean a theatre to me, that is a live stage theatre. Which is what the California Theatre is. Opera and Symphony concerts, complete with a red curtain.
